 The Lengue-James McGann Elected
 Vice President-Interestln Notes.
 The New Ravens played very listless game yesterday and lost game which they could easily have won. The Danburys played a good fielding game, but did not bat so well as the New Havens The New Ravens lost several runs by poor base running and care- less coaching, two men being ielded out at the home plate on short hits. Burns fielding and base running were the features of the game. Begley umpired an excellent game.
 In the first inning Sullivan fumbled Burns hit. The Danburys then found that he was dangerous man to get on base. He stole second, and then played his neat trick of leading off and having the catcher throw down, so that he stole third, and finally scored The bases were filled three times during this inning and Burns came to bat for the second time. His long fly to left field was nicely taken in by Manlove. This left three men on bases. Four runs were scored.
 Shay made a three bagger after Manloves out at first. Cornell hit an easy one to Leary who fumbled it 50 that Shay scored and Cornell was safe at first. Briggs got bis base on balls, and passed ball of Cuffs advanced him and Cornell base. Rollins went out on fly to Mellon. By perfect playing the side should have been retired here, with but one run. Sullivan hit safely and Connell scored. Firth knocked another easy one to Leary. He fumbled this one also. Briggs scored and Firth got to first. Stoutenburgh hit safely, but Monroe struck out.
 The Danburys tied the score in the second base hit, phantom, Cuffs passed ball and steal home on long fly hit.
 In the fourth inning phantom by Fitz. 1a11 of EO1Ils D,-,rv cS hit gave Fitzgerald run. Burns stole sec ond, but was thrown out while stealing third. Mellon got phantom, stole second and scored on Phalon's hit.
 Burns made two-base hit in the sixth inning, stole third and stole home on foul fly to Rollins, as there was nobody at the plate. The Danburys made one or two hits, a steal and put out The score was now 7 to 5.
 In the seventh inning Leary's three-bagger and Halpin's hit brought in another run. Halpin stole second and went to third on a passed ball. As soon Cuff hit the ball Halpin started for home, not stopping to see where it went There was no coacher to tell him. The consequence was that Cornell threw him out at the plate. Here was 8 run cut off that should have been had by proper coaching. Cuff stole second and went to third, the same way that Halpin did. He followed the example of the captain oAAA sA6 5OOA 0s p1tAScThlO u1b oA0 UdII uO IOO started for the plate. Firth threw the ball to Rollins, who stood waiting for him, and he was put out. Another run lost the same way. Then Burns made 8 nice base hit, but there was nobody to bring in. Mellon was thrown out at first.
 Manlove got his base on phantom. Shay's hit sent him to second, and Manlove scored and Shay got to third on Councils two-bag ger. Shay led off from third and Cuff tried to catch him, but made so brilliant throw over Leary's head that Shay and Cornell both scored. Briggs hit to Leary, who made his third tumble. Rollins flied out to Troy. Troy did not pick up Sullivan's hot grounder and Briggs got third and Sullivan first. Cuff threw down to cut Sullivan off and Briggs scored, as might have been expected.
 The score was now to in favor of Dan bury.
 In the eighth inning Manlove hit to Leary and he let the ball go through him. Manlove stole second. Shay fouled out. Cornell hit high fly. Troy, Halpin and Mellon ran for it. Nobody called out who should take it. And what beautiful spectacle they did pre- drop between thenl It of course had to be scored as base hit against Fitzgerald Manlove scored on the hit. This run would have been shut off if the fly had been caught, for the very next man to the bat flied out to Burns
 In the eighth the New Ravens got two men on bases with but one man out Leary was at the bat, but he struck out. A ground ball would have brought in 0 run. Halpin went out at first.
 The New Ravens had every possible chance to win, but they failed to avail themselves of the opportunity. T
